Review by TheRhumhoe
A fine benchmark for agricultural rums. More complex and rounder than the VSOP, its aromas draw on spices, wood and tobacco, mixed with fruity notes. Dry but round on the palate, the finish is warm and very pleasant. A clear success.
Review by Stefan Persson
The taste is less aggressive than many other Agricole’s. I would even say that it’s rather mild at same time that it’s very elegant. A perfect entrance to the Agricole world. The aromas and flavors is fruity, spicy and woody with citrus, pepper, cinnamon and oak clearly recognizable.
Review by cigares
A very nice surprise, a rum with depth, balance and punch despite its low ABV. A very good quality-price ratio. Certainly it is not a great rum, but it comes close. Super pleasant!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Very solid, usual J.M quality.

#4429 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Really well balanced and fruity rum. Nice spices and well integrated wood. There are also nice vegetal notes. Very fresh profile.
Review by Rene Nielsen
A nice agricole with notes of some spices, oak, vanilla. Finish is with some oak,litle hay/grass. Nice agricole
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the first impression is nice and tempting, as it is very round, complex. There are vanilla, dried fruits(raisin and prune), the wood is dry, some orange peel, spices and a touch of flowers and tea. After airing, tobacco notes are present, as sugar cane is very juicy, earthy, mineral. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is soft, waxy and spicy, with earthy juicy sugar cane, mineral, volcanique and pepper.Citrus fruits, dried fruits, tea, dry wood, some nuts and vanilla take over the palate, very round and tasty, as the cane becomes more honeyed. 8,4:The finish is long, woody, dry, slightly bitter,with warm spices, vegetal and floral, tea rounds it up very nicely, as cane is still juicy.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow ein klasse Agricole von Rhum J.M. Gefällt mir grad wirklich gut. Tolle Nase, wir haben hier Vanille, Holz und Gewürze. Am Gaumen setzt sich das fort. Wieder Vanille, Holz und Gewürze, außerdem leicht pfefferig.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Round Agricole. Super availability. Therefore well suited as an entry into the Agricole world.
Review by Eric Frechin
Rhum agricole avec beaucoup de profondeur. Il est très épicé presque pimenté, le tanin du XO se ressent , avec un certaine amertume. Mais un plaisir sucré prend le relais, sur de belles notes de canne
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
A reverence for Martinican agriculture for non-experts! Back to the oak barrel, the typical spices on the nose, on the palate.... In short, I love it! Even if I've tasted much better, for an XO that's available everywhere! It's still very good!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr schöner agricole XO zum fairen PLV. Nicht zu trocken und holzig und nicht zu pflanzlich, sehr angenehm und ausbalanciert. Macht sich insbesondere im Donga Punch und Espresso Martini echt gut finde ich.
Review by MarcT
I reviewed this after quite some time, and the Rum had ample time to breathe (as the bottle was half empty for the year), and was quite astonished: either the rum changed (for the better), or my taste improved. I guess it is both. This time I got much more the vegetal notes attributed to Agricoles, which compliments the overall experience very well.
Review by Joachim Guger
Der Benchmark für Agricole. Da muss man mal vorbeikommen. Super PLV.
